No other action was taken by the caucus, The proceedings were very harmonious, OUR MEXICAN RELATIONS. The Secretary of War. after the Cabinet meeting to-day adjourned, issued an or der to Ueneral Urd, enjoining it upon tnai omcer to be particularly vigilant in tne endeavor to prevent any invasion ol Mext- can territory with hoBlile intent from the American aide of the Kio Grande, the opinion in Administration circles here is that there will be serious trouoie in Mexi co, and particularly along tne border, The followers of Lerdo are without doubt instigating Indian raids into Mexican ter- ritory, for the purpose of having United States troops pursue them across tne river. and thus produce additional complications with the Mexican Government, This fact was mentioned at the Cabinet meeting. Escobedo is in Texas, and the opinion that he should be arrested for violating the neutrality laws waBexnreBsed by some members of the Cabinet. The foregoing Information has been received by our Government through a number of othcial channels, including not only the military authorities, nut the civil omcials suoor dinate to the State Separmenl and De partment of Justice Directions will ba immediately issued from each of these Departments for the prevention ot viola. Hon ol tne neutrality laws, FINANCIAL CONDITION Of THE COUNTRY, Financial matters formed the topio of considerable attention at the Cabinet meeting. Much gratification was express. ed at the exhibit of the Nation's financial condition as shown by the publio debt statement on the 1st inst., and the faot of the heavy subscriptions to the four per cent. loan, iieterence was made to the statement of the Bureau of Statistics, showing that during the nine months end ed March 31 last, our exports exceeded our imports by the unprecedented amount of 206.000,000. This was considered as highly favorable for the maintenance of specio payments by the united mates from and after the early date of resump' tion. LOTTERIES AND THE MAILS.

In yester day's specials it is estimated that forty men were buried in the ruins, nineteen of whom were killed. The loss of property J( placed at a million and a half. AN Associated Press dispatch brie By tells the etory of disaster to the white ele phant. The two million bond bill, to enable the Trustees to complete the South ern railroad, was defeated by a majority of 219 in a vote of 22,000. Governor Bishop was there to witness the crash. The Democratic members of the Gen eral Assembly, in searohing for a pretext connected with the Shanghai Consulate. to put through the redistricting scheme, have discovered that the law of 1872, apportioning the State for Congressional purposes, left the Nineteenth ward of Cincinnati clear out in the cold. The people of that ward have been voting In the Second (Banning's) district; but it seems they have no legal belonging. It is promptly announced that this discovery is to be used to instigate a gerrymander. The House committee appointed to investigate the O'Connor case held a meeting last night. Mr. Lane, Yardmaater in the Michigan State prison, testified that at the time John O'Connor was a prisoner there be (Lane) had charge of the building, and part of his duty was lo take descriptions of prisoners, assign them to cells, and supply them with prisoners' clothing. He identified Representative O'Connor as the John O'Connor who was in prison. Pointing to Representative O'Connor, who was present, Lane said : "Yon are the man I put the stripes on." (The committee adjourned to Monday. Flcfcle Hendricks. Caliban, rn BosulrerJ TTwsiTaTsappofhiedln not finding Governor Hendricks I bad oome out bere to see ,' about the Florida business. Hendricks is now hailed as the Coming Man by every body in Indiana, and also at several points in the East and South, where he is remembered as the running mate to the late Samuel J. Tilden. He has gone to Hot Springs, Arkansas, to sweat nut all his former financial ideas, and will be ready Jn the course of a month or two to strip fr the contest, purified of all opinions arhalcver, and reedr to ealch the fickle breeisof popular belief on whatever oon-oerns our National finances, CABINET MEETING, At the Cabinet council to-day there was serious attention given to the recent re ports relating to agitations on the Mexi can border. There is abundant evidence of the fact that a strong movement is inaugurated by the friends of Lerdo on the Amsrican side ot the itio Grande, to cross over for the purpose of creating trouble for Disz. Reports to this effect have been re ceived by our Government. DEMOCRATIC S0NFERENCE. The ioint committee of Democratic Senators and Representatives, appointed by direction of the recent nemocratic caucus, met to-night to consider a plan for conducting the coming campaign. They will report at an adjourned meeting of the caucus. THE SILVER QUESTION. Assistant Secretary Seward announced that news has been received that the Gov ernments of Switzerland and Holland have accepted the invitations of this Government to participate in the conference on the silver auestion. THE JAPANESE INDEMNITY FUND. The Senate committee on Foreign Rela tions to-day decided to recommend that the so called Japanese indemnity fund be returned to tbe Government of Japan, and authorized Senator Wallace to draft a bill for that purpose. THE SECRETARY OF STATE. Assistant Secretary Seward received a telegram from the Secretary of State this morning, saying Mr. Allen Kvarts was much better. Mr. Evarta will return to Washington to-morrow morning. THE FOUR PER CENT. LOAN. Total subscriptions to the four per cent, loan to day, $068,000. XLVth ton arena First Session. BODSI. Mr. Ward asked leave to present a protest of the worklngmen of Delaware county, Pa., against any change In the tariff. JUX, W oou omeoteu,snu saiu twite maenme- made applications ought to be put in a peti tion box, under the rules. They were be ing got up by wholesale contracts. Mr. Ward That reference is unwarranted, and would come from no other source. Mr. Cutler, Chairman of the committee on Agriculture, reported a bill relative to trans portation or animals, muted andrecommitted. The House then went into committee ef the Whole on the Legislative Appropriation bill, Mr. Eden In the chair. Mr. Cutler offered an amendment increas ing the salary of the Commissioner of Agri culture from $3000 to $4600. Ruled out on a point of order. Also, amendments incressing the compen sation of different officers of the Agriculture Department to the amount allowed by law. A long discussion ensued, in the course of wmcn Mr. uurnam characterized both the Agricultural Department and the Com missioner or Agriculture as kumbugs. Mr. Harris defended the Commissioner. whom he regarded as a polite, accommodat ing and accomplished gentleman and a faith- iui and emcient omcer. Mr. Chittenden said two years ago he had obtained from tbe Department a bag of garden seeds, which he distributed among his constituents, and theylhad never to this day forgiven him for having given them. Laughter Mr. Chittenden said that last year he had obtained another bag of seeds, but the result had been the same, if Congress were to go on the principle that every farmer was to be assisted with seeds, the appropriations for mat purpose would soon amount to millions, tiessrs. uasxeu ana w uittnorne spoke support of the Agricultural Denartment. Mr. Durham stated he had intended no re- hectton on the personal integritv of the Com. missioner. He had termed him a hnmbug because he was, undertaking to do things he never couiu a:compusu. ine agricultural inteiest ot the country was not to be pro moted ny ' oiaca wax oeanB and some choice peas and garden seeds. It demanded a revision of the tarin, a rigid economy and a regulation of the currency. Mr. Townsend of New York made a brief reply to Mr. Durham s remarks about peas and Deans, lie said tnat in a great many Congressional districts the people eat peas and beans. They are an important addition to the humble meal of the farmer, and there are very few districts in the country where the people can subsist simply on bourbon wntsay anotoDacco. The amendment was adopted. The sections in reference to tbe judiciary having been reached, on motion of Mr. Atkins the bill was amended so as to provide tor lour Assistant Attorney uenerals, the bill as reported providing for but three. Mr. Young moved that the amount ariDro- pnatea ior the rent oi tne r reeuman a nana building in Washington be reduced from $14,00010 $10,000. Mr. Atkins, while agreeing to reduce the rent to , 10,000, was opposed to any further reduction. He was in favor of paying a liberal rent for the building owued by the swindled freedmen. Mr. Young said he did not think it was obligatory on the Government to reimburse the treeamen lor what they had lost, but that if any gentleman would submit a prop osition to reimburse tnem, he would give it his hearty support. Mr. Chalmers said throughout his district every freedman had deposited his savings in the Freedman's Bank under the impreESion that the Government went bond for it. The Government was bound in honor and inlaw to make their losseB good. It should be done as an act of good faith. Mr. Young gave his friend from Missis, eippi (Chalmers) credit for his philanthropy. It was praiseworthy in him because the col ored people had a majority of 8000 in his district, uutol that uooo be (Xoung) un- dertook tossy that there was not a solitary one who had a dollar in the bank, or ever nad had. Mr. Chalmers stated the colored people in his district had drpoBited over $10,000 in the rreedmen s DanKsin vicKsburgand Matches. He had never heard it asserted before on the ioor that it waB a disgrace for a man to be poor and honest. There were a number of colored people in his district and he had made good Democrats ot tn m. the amendmont was adopted. The reading of the bill was then concluded and the committee rose and reported the bill to tne Mouse, but no action waa taken thereon. Mr Whittborne introduced a bill to en courage shipping. i ne nouse then took, a recess until 7:30. The evening session will be for the consid- FOREIGN.

Out to be a Forger nnd anIncendiary. Laconia, N. H-, May 3. There is much excitement here and throughout this section of the state over the announce. mentjuat made public that Thomas !. Ladd, one of the most prominent business men of this place, who disappeared Mon day last, under circumstances leading to the belief that he committed suicide, was a forger to a large amount, and an incen diary, ruining a number of people and victimizing nve banks. Monday he appeared much excited, and obtained a loan of some money; then went to his bouse, and his wile noticing bis strange appearance, he said : " I will be back by and by, and tell you all about it." Soon alter he borrowed a team and started out to rids. That evening the team was discovered twelve miles distant. in oanoornton, near a swollen and rapid stream. It was tben thought be bad com mitted suicide, but some believe he fled to Canada. He had been financially embarrassed for some months and the determination of his creditors to put him into bank ruptcy, led to an investigation of some of his paper, when forgeries were discovered. The four parties whose names are signed to the forged notes bIbo signed so many genuine notes in his favor it is believed they will be ruined, ills entire liabilities foot up $30,000. The amount of forged paper already discovered is five thousand dollars, ten buildings in vari ous localities, heavily insured and held by Ladd, have been burned within a few years past, before bis departure, he con fessed to a mend that several nres were his own acts of incendiarism.

Though Russia is be lieved to have secured Austrian neu trality, her military situation in Turkey la now regarded exceedingly critical, The attitude of the Turkish soldiery is reported more favorable tnan ever lor an alliance with English troops. A month ago Russian influence seemed on the point of oarrying every thing before it, Dotnow tbe rone seems more intracta ble than ever, aad the Turkish army is so strong that the threats of the Russians have little effect. 1 he 1 urks have entrenched positions and are scarcely inferior in number to what the Muscovites can mass, so that not only can there be no question of surprise, but even moet serious attacks might be resisted sufficiently long at any rate until help could oome from elsewhere. It is not there considered likely they will accede to the evacuation of Verns, Shumla and Batoum even to get the Russians away from the neighborhood of Con stantinople. General Todleben, therefore, will have to display considerable diplomatic ingenuity in the attempt to over come all the difficulties, while the conciliatory disposition in St. Petersburg must be strong not to be worn out by the tem porizing policy which the Turks feel the strength of. Their position they will doubtless uee with their well known ability. Meanwhile direct negotiations with the Turks for the withdrawal of the Russians have begun. Accounts from Adrianople state that troops are moving in the direction of 8chalaldja and the capital, while westward, against the insurgents, but few battalions and eauadrona of Cossacka have been dispatched. There is no abatement of the pressure of the Government works. The activity which prevails in every department cannot be expressed in the de tails, being created by general demands for munitions and Btores, Queer Treatment or an Anieilean Schooner at Panama.

The all-absorbing topic with Delaware people juBt at present is a oase wherein one Hannah Altroch, a young German girl of about seventeen years, returns to her home from a point in Michigan and makes confession that she baa been led astray by a prominent young man of this community. The circumstances have all been published in the home panen. and it ia hardly necessary to go into details at this late date, other than to state Ibat tbe result of her folly led to the death of her father last evening at MVon n'rrr It -a-n, - IL. ,1 ..... l . - - - h,w, Hu.ujunriu question was the pride of hi heart.

New York Star Seven years ago there were two Irish men in the city of San Francisco keeping urmairig-uurH oi very moaesi pretensions, close lo one of the principal business thoroughfares. Their customers were of all kinds, but chiefly commercial men and clerks. Among them was an unusually large proportion of slock and share dealers, mining brokers and the like, who, in the intervals of speculation rushed out of the neighboring exchange five or six times a day for drinks. Whisky being almost the religion of California, and the tfvu iiitio unr-Keepera ueiugcareiui 10 Sell nothing but the best article, their bar soon became a place of popular resort. And aa no true Californian could ever swallow a drink of whisky nnderany circumstances without talking about silver mines or gold mines or shares in mines it soon fell out that, next to the Stock Exchange itself, there was no place in San r rancuco wnere so much mining talk went on as in tne saloon of Messrs Flood & O'Brien, which were the names of the two. Keeping their ears wide open, and sifting the mass of gossip that they listened to every day, these two gentlemen picked up a good many crumbs of useful information, besides getting now and then a direct confidential tip; and they turned some of them to such good account in a few quiet little speculations that they shortly had a comfortable sum of money lying at their bankers'. Instead of throwing it away neaaiong in wita, extravagant ventures, which was the joyous custom of the average Californian of those days, they let it ..o nuv.c, nao, namug, wim couimena-able prudence, until they knew of some, thing good to put it into. They soon heard of something good enough. On Fair's advice they bought shares in the mine called the Hale and Noroross, and were speedily taking out of it 15,000 pouuua a montnin aiviaenas. ibis mine was the property of a company, and though it had at one time paid large and wu.iuuuuB uiviueuuB, 11 waa now supposed to be worked out and worthless. Mr. fair, nowever. held a different opinion- and when he oame to examine it carefully he found what he expected to find a large deposit of silver ore. Thereupon he and Flood and O'Brien together bought up all the shares they could lay their hands upon, and obtained complete con trol ui tne mine. Besides being a clever and experienced miner, Mr. Fair entertained the belief that by patient examination into holea and corners of the mine he would discover a gigantio vein of silver-bearing ore. He discovered the vein, the estimated value of which waa 120,000,000. In the excitement caused by this astounding discovery it is scarcely more than the hard truth to say that San Francisco went raving mad. The vein in which the Bonanza was found waa known to run straight through the Consolidated Virginia and California mines, dipping down aa it went, and could not be traced any further. But that faot waa nothing to people who were bent on having mining stock; and vein or no vein, the stock they would have. Consequently they bought into every mine in the neighborhood good and bad alike sending prices up to unheard of limits, and investing millions in worthless properties that hare never yielded a shilling in dividends, and never will. When Flood had bought a large quantity of the Bonanzi stock, and had assured to himself and his partners the controlling interest in the mines, he recommended all his friends to buy a little, and O'Brien did the same. Those who took the advice are now drawing their proportionate shares of dividends, amounting to about 500,000 a month. The majority of those bought iuto other mines are, in Cal ifornia parlance, "busted." What these three men and their latest partner, Mackey, are going to do with their money. is a curioua problem, the solution of which will be watched with great interest in a year or two to come. The money vuey noia now is yielding them returns so enormous that their maddest extravagance could make no impression on the amount. How to Keep a Piano. Otto Brunnine. writing tn the .Tmimal do Muaique of Paris, Bays : "The piano is constructed almost exclusively of various kinds of woods and melab: ninth. skin and felt being used also in tbe me chanical portion, t or this reason atmospheric changes have a great effect on the quality and durability of tbe instrument, and it is necessary to protect it from all external influences which might affect the materials of which it ia composed. It must be Bheded from the sun, kept out of " !iT"'u''i."H """V" a", guarded against sudden changes of temperature, xmc latter is a most frequentcauseof the piano getting out of tune, and the instrument should be kept in a temperature not lower than 54 and not higher than 86 Fahrenheit. When too cold the wood, cloth and skin swell, and the mechanism works badly; when too warm these materials shrink and produce clicking, squeaking and other disagreeable sounds. Moib- ture is the greatest enemy of the piano, and it cannot be too carlully guarded againBt. in a very snort lime damp will destroy every good point about the instru ment. The tone becomes dull and fiat, the wires rusty and easily broken, the joints of the mechanism stiff, and the hammers ao not strike with precision, ana ii inese symptoms are not attended to at once the piano is irredeemably spoilt, therefore do not put your piano in a damp ground-floor room or betwen two windows, or between the door and the window where there is a thorough draught. Never leave the piano open when not in use, and above all, when the room is being cleaned. Do not put it near a etove, onimney or not-air pipes. Always wipe the keyB after playing. Never pile books, music, or other heavy things on the top. Be careful when using the soft peaai not to thump tbe notes. Do not allow five-note or other exercises of a small compass on a piano you have any regard for. A leather cover should be kept on the instrument when not in UBe. and removed every day for the purpose of ousting. A cusnion of wadding or a strip ot flannel laid on the keys will help to aeep tnem wnite ana preserve the poliah. Never leave the piano open after a musi cal evening or dance. If you are obliged to have it in a damp room, do not place it against the wall, and raise it from the floor by means of insulators, and always cover it after playing. Employ the best tuner you can get, and it a new instrument, let it be tuned every two months during the first year, and at least three times a year afterward. Always have it tuned after a soiree if the room has been very hot.'' Keep Tonr Month shot. At the Roval Institution. London, re cently, Professor Garrod lectured on the protoplasmio theory of life, and in speaking of respiration drew attention to some few faote of practical Importance wbich, though well known to physiologists, are too often disregarded by the public. The relative time occupied in inspiration and expiration ia such that the carbonic acid breathed out to a distance is out of tbe way before the next inspiration, the air for which Is drawn in from the immediate neighborhood of the nostrils. The distance to which breath is exhaled through the noatrils is well illustrated by smoking through the nose. During the day our nostrils are kept clear of interference, as we ait or walk ; out at mint bed oioining is apt to get so arranged as to retard the current of car bonic acid breathed out, and some of it is tbus a second time inhtltd, instead of the incurrent being, as it Bhould be, of pure air, Another praotical point mentioned waa the importance of keeping the mouth closed and of breathing through the nose In cold weather. Air should not reach the lungs at a temperature muoh below that of the blood, and air is muoh more warmed in pasting through the nose passages than in going directly from the mouth. In speaking of the evolution of carbonic acid, Professor Garrod mentioned a point which, he thought, bad not received due recognition, which waa that the "protoplasmio" vitality of the body led to the oxidation of pabulum supplied and the conttqdenl formation of carbonic acid, just as muscular work, whether voluntary or not, produced a similar result. Pettenkofier's experiments with men were illustrated on a small scale, with a tame white mouse, in a glass vessel duly tup-plied with food, and a current of air so arranged that the carbonio acid breathed out by the mouse wss collected in lime water, to that the amount in a given time, and varying with activity or rest, oould be estimated, Jfew Advertisements.

A caucus of Republican Senators waa held at the DTiniiTn i mtt cttwuth) Capitol this afternoon for the porpoeeof OrltllMu AND OllM.Sa.till exchanging views a to the general po litical aituation and recsiving the report from the committee appointed last month to make suggestions as to what political measures should be brought before the Senate for action, Senator Edmunds. Chairman of the committee, reported in favor of moving the adoption by the Senate or a series ot resolutions declaring in substance that the fourteenth and fifteenth articles, amendments of the Constitution, were dulr and legally ratified, and form part ot the supreme law 01 me land, and as such should be en forced by the Executive Departments After considerable discussion, this recom' mendation was agreed to and resolutions will shortly' be presented in the Senate and pressed to a Tote with a view to mas ing up the records of both political par ties for the coming fall campaign. No other action was taken by the caucus, The proceedings were very harmonious, OUR MEXICAN RELATIONS. The Secretary of War. after the Cabinet meeting to-day adjourned, issued an or der to Ueneral Urd, enjoining it upon tnai omcer to be particularly vigilant in tne endeavor to prevent any invasion ol Mext- can territory with hoBlile intent from the American aide of the Kio Grande, the opinion in Administration circles here is that there will be serious trouoie in Mexi co, and particularly along tne border, The followers of Lerdo are without doubt instigating Indian raids into Mexican ter- ritory, for the purpose of having United States troops pursue them across tne river. and thus produce additional complications with the Mexican Government, This fact was mentioned at the Cabinet meeting. Escobedo is in Texas, and the opinion that he should be arrested for violating the neutrality laws waBexnreBsed by some members of the Cabinet. The foregoing Information has been received by our Government through a number of othcial channels, including not only the military authorities, nut the civil omcials suoor dinate to the State Separmenl and De partment of Justice Directions will ba immediately issued from each of these Departments for the prevention ot viola. Hon ol tne neutrality laws, FINANCIAL CONDITION Of THE COUNTRY, Financial matters formed the topio of considerable attention at the Cabinet meeting. Much gratification was express. ed at the exhibit of the Nation's financial condition as shown by the publio debt statement on the 1st inst., and the faot of the heavy subscriptions to the four per cent. loan, iieterence was made to the statement of the Bureau of Statistics, showing that during the nine months end ed March 31 last, our exports exceeded our imports by the unprecedented amount of 206.000,000. This was considered as highly favorable for the maintenance of specio payments by the united mates from and after the early date of resump' tion. LOTTERIES AND THE MAILS. The Attorney General decides that pest' masters cannot withhold from the mails letters suBpecied to contain advertisements nf lotteries for the reason that under the Rsvieed Statutes, except in case of letters on wbich postage has not been prepaid, there Is no power conferred on tne postmaster to withhold letters from the mails, He further states, if the Postmaster Gen eral is satisfied by evidence thst any per son is conducting any fraudulent lottery through the mails, he may instruct the postmaster at any offioa at which register ed letters arrive, directed to any such persons, to return the letters to the post. office at which they were mailed. FRACTIONAL CURRENCY REDEMPTION. There now being ten million dollars in the United States Treasury, originally reserved for the redemption of fractional currency and In consequence ol an fractional currency having been destroyed, Representative Phillips was to-day. in structed by the House committee on Banking and Currency to frame a bill to be submitted to tne committee at tne next session having in view the release of the above named sum in order that it may enter into circulation in denominations of one and two dollars, THE CHINA CONSULATE INVESTIGATION. The Investigation of matters connected with the China Consulate, etc, has been virtually postponed by the House committee on Expenditures under the State Department, to await the arrival of Minister Seward from Pekin.

In yester day's specials it is estimated that forty men were buried in the ruins, nineteen of whom were killed. The loss of property J( placed at a million and a half. AN Associated Press dispatch brie By tells the etory of disaster to the white ele phant. The two million bond bill, to enable the Trustees to complete the South ern railroad, was defeated by a majority of 219 in a vote of 22,000. Governor Bishop was there to witness the crash. The Democratic members of the Gen eral Assembly, in searohing for a pretext connected with the Shanghai Consulate. to put through the redistricting scheme, have discovered that the law of 1872, apportioning the State for Congressional purposes, left the Nineteenth ward of Cincinnati clear out in the cold. The people of that ward have been voting In the Second (Banning's) district; but it seems they have no legal belonging. It is promptly announced that this discovery is to be used to instigate a gerrymander. The House committee appointed to investigate the O'Connor case held a meeting last night. Mr. Lane, Yardmaater in the Michigan State prison, testified that at the time John O'Connor was a prisoner there be (Lane) had charge of the building, and part of his duty was lo take descriptions of prisoners, assign them to cells, and supply them with prisoners' clothing. He identified Representative O'Connor as the John O'Connor who was in prison. Pointing to Representative O'Connor, who was present, Lane said : "Yon are the man I put the stripes on."

There is abundant evidence of the fact that a strong movement is inaugurated by the friends of Lerdo on the Amsrican side ot the itio Grande, to cross over for the purpose of creating trouble for Disz. Reports to this effect have been re ceived by our Government. DEMOCRATIC S0NFERENCE. The ioint committee of Democratic Senators and Representatives, appointed by direction of the recent nemocratic caucus, met to-night to consider a plan for conducting the coming campaign. They will report at an adjourned meeting of the caucus. THE SILVER QUESTION. Assistant Secretary Seward announced that news has been received that the Gov ernments of Switzerland and Holland have accepted the invitations of this Government to participate in the conference on the silver auestion.

Mr. Ward That reference is unwarranted, and would come from no other source. Mr. Cutler, Chairman of the committee on Agriculture, reported a bill relative to trans portation or animals, muted andrecommitted. The House then went into committee ef the Whole on the Legislative Appropriation bill, Mr. Eden In the chair. Mr. Cutler offered an amendment increas ing the salary of the Commissioner of Agri culture from $3000 to $4600. Ruled out on a point of order. Also, amendments incressing the compen sation of different officers of the Agriculture Department to the amount allowed by law. A long discussion ensued, in the course of wmcn Mr. uurnam characterized both the Agricultural Department and the Com missioner or Agriculture as kumbugs. Mr. Harris defended the Commissioner. whom he regarded as a polite, accommodat ing and accomplished gentleman and a faith- iui and emcient omcer. Mr. Chittenden said two years ago he had obtained from tbe Department a bag of garden seeds, which he distributed among his constituents, and theylhad never to this day forgiven him for having given them. Laughter Mr. Chittenden said that last year he had obtained another bag of seeds, but the result had been the same, if Congress were to go on the principle that every farmer was to be assisted with seeds, the appropriations for mat purpose would soon amount to millions, tiessrs. uasxeu ana w uittnorne spoke support of the Agricultural Denartment. Mr. Durham stated he had intended no re- hectton on the personal integritv of the Com. missioner. He had termed him a hnmbug because he was, undertaking to do things he never couiu a:compusu. ine agricultural inteiest ot the country was not to be pro moted ny ' oiaca wax oeanB and some choice peas and garden seeds. It demanded a revision of the tarin, a rigid economy and a regulation of the currency. Mr. Townsend of New York made a brief reply to Mr. Durham s remarks about peas and Deans, lie said tnat in a great many Congressional districts the people eat peas and beans. They are an important addition to the humble meal of the farmer, and there are very few districts in the country where the people can subsist simply on bourbon wntsay anotoDacco. The amendment was adopted. The sections in reference to tbe judiciary having been reached, on motion of Mr. Atkins the bill was amended so as to provide tor lour Assistant Attorney uenerals, the bill as reported providing for but three. Mr. Young moved that the amount ariDro- pnatea ior the rent oi tne r reeuman a nana building in Washington be reduced from $14,00010 $10,000. Mr. Atkins, while agreeing to reduce the rent to , 10,000, was opposed to any further reduction. He was in favor of paying a liberal rent for the building owued by the swindled freedmen. Mr. Young said he did not think it was obligatory on the Government to reimburse the treeamen lor what they had lost, but that if any gentleman would submit a prop osition to reimburse tnem, he would give it his hearty support. Mr. Chalmers said throughout his district every freedman had deposited his savings in the Freedman's Bank under the impreESion that the Government went bond for it. The Government was bound in honor and inlaw to make their losseB good. It should be done as an act of good faith. Mr. Young gave his friend from Missis, eippi (Chalmers) credit for his philanthropy. It was praiseworthy in him because the col ored people had a majority of 8000 in his district, uutol that uooo be (Xoung) un- dertook tossy that there was not a solitary one who had a dollar in the bank, or ever nad had. Mr. Chalmers stated the colored people in his district had drpoBited over $10,000 in the rreedmen s DanKsin vicKsburgand Matches. He had never heard it asserted before on the ioor that it waB a disgrace for a man to be poor and honest. There were a number of colored people in his district and he had made good Democrats ot tn m. the amendmont was adopted. The reading of the bill was then concluded and the committee rose and reported the bill to tne Mouse, but no action waa taken thereon.

Ladd, one of the most prominent business men of this place, who disappeared Mon day last, under circumstances leading to the belief that he committed suicide, was a forger to a large amount, and an incen diary, ruining a number of people and victimizing nve banks. Monday he appeared much excited, and obtained a loan of some money; then went to his bouse, and his wile noticing bis strange appearance, he said : " I will be back by and by, and tell you all about it." Soon alter he borrowed a team and started out to rids. That evening the team was discovered twelve miles distant. in oanoornton, near a swollen and rapid stream. It was tben thought be bad com mitted suicide, but some believe he fled to Canada. He had been financially embarrassed for some months and the determination of his creditors to put him into bank ruptcy, led to an investigation of some of his paper, when forgeries were discovered. The four parties whose names are signed to the forged notes bIbo signed so many genuine notes in his favor it is believed they will be ruined, ills entire liabilities foot up $30,000. The amount of forged paper already discovered is five thousand dollars, ten buildings in vari ous localities, heavily insured and held by Ladd, have been burned within a few years past, before bis departure, he con fessed to a mend that several nres were his own acts of incendiarism.

Though Russia is be lieved to have secured Austrian neu trality, her military situation in Turkey la now regarded exceedingly critical, The attitude of the Turkish soldiery is reported more favorable tnan ever lor an alliance with English troops. A month ago Russian influence seemed on the point of oarrying every thing before it, Dotnow tbe rone seems more intracta ble than ever, aad the Turkish army is so strong that the threats of the Russians have little effect. 1 he 1 urks have entrenched positions and are scarcely inferior in number to what the Muscovites can mass, so that not only can there be no question of surprise, but even moet serious attacks might be resisted sufficiently long at any rate until help could oome from elsewhere. It is not there considered likely they will accede to the evacuation of Verns, Shumla and Batoum even to get the Russians away from the neighborhood of Con stantinople. General Todleben, therefore, will have to display considerable diplomatic ingenuity in the attempt to over come all the difficulties, while the conciliatory disposition in St. Petersburg must be strong not to be worn out by the tem porizing policy which the Turks feel the strength of. Their position they will doubtless uee with their well known ability. Meanwhile direct negotiations with the Turks for the withdrawal of the Russians have begun. Accounts from Adrianople state that troops are moving in the direction of 8chalaldja and the capital, while westward, against the insurgents, but few battalions and eauadrona of Cossacka have been dispatched. There is no abatement of the pressure of the Government works.

The all-absorbing topic with Delaware people juBt at present is a oase wherein one Hannah Altroch, a young German girl of about seventeen years, returns to her home from a point in Michigan and makes confession that she baa been led astray by a prominent young man of this community.

New York Star Seven years ago there were two Irish men in the city of San Francisco keeping urmairig-uurH oi very moaesi pretensions, close lo one of the principal business thoroughfares. Their customers were of all kinds, but chiefly commercial men and clerks. Among them was an unusually large proportion of slock and share dealers, mining brokers and the like, who, in the intervals of speculation rushed out of the neighboring exchange five or six times a day for drinks. Whisky being almost the religion of California, and the tfvu iiitio unr-Keepera ueiugcareiui 10 Sell nothing but the best article, their bar soon became a place of popular resort. And aa no true Californian could ever swallow a drink of whisky nnderany circumstances without talking about silver mines or gold mines or shares in mines it soon fell out that, next to the Stock Exchange itself, there was no place in San r rancuco wnere so much mining talk went on as in tne saloon of Messrs Flood & O'Brien, which were the names of the two. Keeping their ears wide open, and sifting the mass of gossip that they listened to every day, these two gentlemen picked up a good many crumbs of useful information, besides getting now and then a direct confidential tip; and they turned some of them to such good account in a few quiet little speculations that they shortly had a comfortable sum of money lying at their bankers'. Instead of throwing it away neaaiong in wita, extravagant ventures, which was the joyous custom of the average Californian of those days, they let it ..o nuv.c, nao, namug, wim couimena-able prudence, until they knew of some, thing good to put it into. They soon heard of something good enough. On Fair's advice they bought shares in the mine called the Hale and Noroross, and were speedily taking out of it 15,000 pouuua a montnin aiviaenas. ibis mine was the property of a company, and though it had at one time paid large and wu.iuuuuB uiviueuuB, 11 waa now supposed to be worked out and worthless. Mr. fair, nowever. held a different opinion- and when he oame to examine it carefully he found what he expected to find a large deposit of silver ore. Thereupon he and Flood and O'Brien together bought up all the shares they could lay their hands upon, and obtained complete con trol ui tne mine. Besides being a clever and experienced miner, Mr. Fair entertained the belief that by patient examination into holea and corners of the mine he would discover a gigantio vein of silver-bearing ore. He discovered the vein, the estimated value of which waa 120,000,000. In the excitement caused by this astounding discovery it is scarcely more than the hard truth to say that San Francisco went raving mad. The vein in which the Bonanza was found waa known to run straight through the Consolidated Virginia and California mines, dipping down aa it went, and could not be traced any further. But that faot waa nothing to people who were bent on having mining stock; and vein or no vein, the stock they would have. Consequently they bought into every mine in the neighborhood good and bad alike sending prices up to unheard of limits, and investing millions in worthless properties that hare never yielded a shilling in dividends, and never will. When Flood had bought a large quantity of the Bonanzi stock, and had assured to himself and his partners the controlling interest in the mines, he recommended all his friends to buy a little, and O'Brien did the same. Those who took the advice are now drawing their proportionate shares of dividends, amounting to about 500,000 a month. The majority of those bought iuto other mines are, in Cal ifornia parlance, "busted." What these three men and their latest partner, Mackey, are going to do with their money. is a curioua problem, the solution of which will be watched with great interest in a year or two to come. The money vuey noia now is yielding them returns so enormous that their maddest extravagance could make no impression on the amount. How to Keep a Piano. Otto Brunnine. writing tn the .Tmimal do Muaique of Paris, Bays : "The piano is constructed almost exclusively of various kinds of woods and melab: ninth. skin and felt being used also in tbe me chanical portion, t or this reason atmospheric changes have a great effect on the quality and durability of tbe instrument, and it is necessary to protect it from all external influences which might affect the materials of which it ia composed.

When too cold the wood, cloth and skin swell, and the mechanism works badly; when too warm these materials shrink and produce clicking, squeaking and other disagreeable sounds. Moib- ture is the greatest enemy of the piano, and it cannot be too carlully guarded againBt. in a very snort lime damp will destroy every good point about the instru ment. The tone becomes dull and fiat, the wires rusty and easily broken, the joints of the mechanism stiff, and the hammers ao not strike with precision, ana ii inese symptoms are not attended to at once the piano is irredeemably spoilt, therefore do not put your piano in a damp ground-floor room or betwen two windows, or between the door and the window where there is a thorough draught. Never leave the piano open when not in use, and above all, when the room is being cleaned. Do not put it near a etove, onimney or not-air pipes. Always wipe the keyB after playing. Never pile books, music, or other heavy things on the top. Be careful when using the soft peaai not to thump tbe notes. Do not allow five-note or other exercises of a small compass on a piano you have any regard for. A leather cover should be kept on the instrument when not in UBe. and removed every day for the purpose of ousting. A cusnion of wadding or a strip ot flannel laid on the keys will help to aeep tnem wnite ana preserve the poliah. Never leave the piano open after a musi cal evening or dance. If you are obliged to have it in a damp room, do not place it against the wall, and raise it from the floor by means of insulators, and always cover it after playing. Employ the best tuner you can get, and it a new instrument, let it be tuned every two months during the first year, and at least three times a year afterward. Always have it tuned after a soiree if the room has been very hot.'' Keep Tonr Month shot. At the Roval Institution. London, re cently, Professor Garrod lectured on the protoplasmio theory of life, and in speaking of respiration drew attention to some few faote of practical Importance wbich, though well known to physiologists, are too often disregarded by the public. The relative time occupied in inspiration and expiration ia such that the carbonic acid breathed out to a distance is out of tbe way before the next inspiration, the air for which Is drawn in from the immediate neighborhood of the nostrils. The distance to which breath is exhaled through the noatrils is well illustrated by smoking through the nose. During the day our nostrils are kept clear of interference, as we ait or walk ; out at mint bed oioining is apt to get so arranged as to retard the current of car bonic acid breathed out, and some of it is tbus a second time inhtltd, instead of the incurrent being, as it Bhould be, of pure air, Another praotical point mentioned waa the importance of keeping the mouth closed and of breathing through the nose In cold weather. Air should not reach the lungs at a temperature muoh below that of the blood, and air is muoh more warmed in pasting through the nose passages than in going directly from the mouth. In speaking of the evolution of carbonic acid, Professor Garrod mentioned a point which, he thought, bad not received due recognition, which waa that the "protoplasmio" vitality of the body led to the oxidation of pabulum supplied and the conttqdenl formation of carbonic acid, just as muscular work, whether voluntary or not, produced a similar result. Pettenkofier's experiments with men were illustrated on a small scale, with a tame white mouse, in a glass vessel duly tup-plied with food, and a current of air so arranged that the carbonio acid breathed out by the mouse wss collected in lime water, to that the amount in a given time, and varying with activity or rest, oould be estimated, Jfew Advertisements.
